The Institute for Integration of Medicine & Science (IIMS) and The Center for Innovative Drug Discovery (CIDD) are soliciting proposals for pilot project awards. CIDD is composed of two facilities: a High-Throughput Screening (HTS) Core located at University of Texas Health San Antonio (UTHSA) and a Medicinal Chemistry Core at University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA). The goal of the Pilot Project Program is to support early-stage pre-clinical, small-molecule drug discovery studies that will lead to increased collaboration, multi-disciplinary, and institutional studies, and community-based research that will likely compete successfully for national grant support and further funding. The pilot program is supported by the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Full Application Deadline - Friday, August 19th at 5:00PM

This new forum hosts participants from the San Antonio and Utah CTSA programs (KL2, TL1, TS PhD, MSCI-TS, TS Certificate, Workforce Development Personnel, etc.). Our next session is about Cultural Humility/Competency. “Cultural humility involves understanding the complexity of identities,” while “cultural competence is the ability to engage knowledgeably with people across cultures;” both frameworks must be embraced to build effective programs (Khan S. Cultural humility vs. cultural competence - and why providers need both. Health City, March 9, 2021).
